dc.description.abstractResearchers in the past have found that instructors’ levels of competence have an important effect on their ability to teach. This research aims to determine if there is a quality gap in Maldives’ higher education institutions between public and private institutions and between full-time and part-time lecturers. An online structured questionnaire was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey as part of the quantitative research strategy. Lecturers from both public and private universities took part in this investigation. The Mann-Whitney U test found a statistically significant difference between public (M= 67.52) and private (M= 48.07) institution lecturers in terms of competency; U= 829.50, p= 0.021. However, lecturers’ competency mean rank scores of full-time lecturers (M= 64.82) and part-time lecturers (M= 59.34) indicate the difference of mean scores of lecturers’ competency was not statistically significant, U= 937.50, p= 0.55. It is likely better recruitment and in-service professional development policies at public institutes are established at the institutional level, thereby improving lecturers’ competency compared to private institutes.
